How do people enjoy spectator sports? I have never understood this. Watching football is [i]boring[/i]. Watching soccer is [i]boring[/i]. It's not limited to meatheads and it's not an American phenomenon... People around the world love watching spectator sports, and I don't understand why. To me, it's just as boring as watching someone play a video game. If you're not involved in the action, you're literally just sitting on your ass and watching other people play. [b]EDIT[/b]: I do enjoy athletic activity. (Although I'm pretty out of shape at the moment, so I haven't been doing much of it lately.) I ran track in high school and I used to enjoy real-life games of basketball, flag football, and capture the flag. I just don't understand the appeal of [i]watching[/i] other people play sports and having absolutely no input yourself.
